It's comforting to know that even in times of National Financial Crisis one can go to a an extended family member's house for a liesurely Labor Day dinner and still have to hold back from gourging on the outlayed bounty of culinary delights! It gives me much pleasure and reassurance to see that family traditions will still go on despite the blows to the wallet from the current economic plight.
This little downturn is nothing compared to what some at lunch and dinner tables all around the country today have experienced in their lifetimes. Yes, the Great Depression is what I am thinking of. Even in those harsh of harsh times trditions still continued, although the main course probably looked a little different that it did in times of plenty, but families still gathered and meals were still served. The human spirit is stronger than the bank account and thanks be for that!
It's the Fellowship that is 'The Diamond in the ruff'. The meals are ultimately secondary to that of gathering together whether it be blood kin, goods friends, or brothers and sisters united by faith, belief, or a common cause or any mixture thereof. God bless the human spirit and all the trdaitions of bonding and fellowship that we keep. Like so
many evenings after familial holiday feasts and events, sitting here in the cool comfort and familiarity of this place I call home I am so glad that I decided to attend this family event. I feel the richer for it, in a real good way, down deep in my bones. Rich in connectedness, love, support, and safety: the bedrock of families. Age comes naturally. You have to work for Wisdom.
